SSI Rule Change to No Longer Factor Food

This is huge news and an important, albeit incremental, step toward a common sense, reality-based administration of SSI benefits for individuals with disabilities. https://www.disabilityscoop.com/.../social.../30818/

From today's DisabilityScoop.com: "The Social Security Administration is moving forward with a major change to the way it calculates monthly Supplemental Security Income benefits for those with disabilities. The agency said that starting this fall it will no longer factor food when determining what’s known as 'in-kind support and maintenance.' Under current rules, SSI benefits can be reduced — in many cases by about a third — if someone else routinely provides meals or groceries to a beneficiary. Now, that’s set to change."
